Bridgeport, Conn., Nov. 23.—Barnum's fifth big tire, the burning of the winter quarters of his big show on Sunday night, was a brief but brilliant circus. The destroyed building, 100 by 400 feet, and two and a half stories high, was razed by the flames In about fifteen minutes, though the big stores of lumber and more valuable material it contained furnished food for the flames for nearly an hour, By that time, though the ruins still smoked and in some points emited fitful bursts of flame, the flre was a thing of the past, and with it was the end of a large qaautity of show properties and appointments, and the loss of many valuable lives—the lives of the greater part of the animals of the menagerie collection. The circus over the fire [was of longer duration than the conflagration itself, for the fifteen minutes that the building ■tood were utilized by the men about the ■how to loose the most of the herd of elephants and one largo African lion, while a huge rhinoceros had in some way accomplished his own rescue, though not until ho had been so severely burned that his thick dark hide was broiled to angry red. The roving elephants, the free lion, and the rhinoceros, dazed and crazed with pain, the thousands of people attracted to the scene by the glare of the llamas, and an aroused cityful all astir, and knowing not what the extent of the danger might be, furnished conditions of sufficient excitement.

Clemenceau the fullest latitude in the choice of colleagues, M. Clemenceau replied that the devotion of the president to the republic was indisputable, and that he might rendor h?r a last servico by resigning, in view of the fact that his authority hud sustained a blow that was hurtful to the republic.

Honoring the Brave. An End t Bone Scraping. It is now considered certain that it was the Rosa Mary that ran into the Scholten, and that instead of being anchored, as her captain claimcd, she had just got up unchor and was steaming ahead, with no light set but the ordinary whito light, denoting that she was anchored. When it is considered that it is a common practise for coasting steamers and sailing vessels to neglect to show lights, in order to save oil, and that the Re s i Mary was one of these coal carrying, cheaply run coasters, there is no surprise felt that the three officers on the Scholten's bridge did not see her until they were too close to save the ship. Edward Shepherd, of Harrisbuig, III., says 'Having received bo much benfit from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duly to let suffering humanity know it. Have had a running sore on my leg for eight years: my doctors told me I would have to have the bo:ie scraped or leg amputated.

An ifort was immediately begun at treating h.m, iii the hope of saving him, and yesterday it was regarded us an even chance that hi would survive the fearful ordeal he had pa,-s d through. Replying to M. Clemenceau, President Grevy said that for many reasons he desired to retire to private life, but it was liis desire to quit the Elysee palace with honor. Therefore he Would remain in office until things were so arranged that he could take his departure with dignity. He felt that this was duo to his past life and the office be held. He must avoid setting a bad precedent. He referred to 11. Wilson as the victim of a political intrigue against himself. Bound Brook's Public Library. Hound Brook, N.

The lunging, plunging process of the unwieldly brutes that were loose waS a terror to the witnesses beyond the frightening powers of snakes and monkeys. As they trotted about, swaying from side to side, and swinging their trunks with an appearance uf terrible power that was kuown to be only too well founded, the non-professional spectators looked well to their distances. The elephant handlers, in the haste, excitement and danger of undoing the chain tethers and freeing the brutee in the burning building, had no time to secure them outside. Bo they bad the freedom of the grounds, and, after they had crashed through two or three fenCes, they had the freedom ot the city. In fact, if they had been lively and frisky, they would have been ill posseesion of Fairfield county, if not the state of Connecticut ~ But they were dull and sluggish on account of the cold weather, and tbay pursued their heavy way with a most fortunate and remarkable absence of casualties and tiamage, except to fences. The records of destruction and death that have been made by single elephants on the rampago attest hpw extremely lucky Bridgeport was, and the show people too in this particular; for there were no less than twenty-seven of these dangerous creatures at large at once. Tho wandering herd included the six big an.mals Babe, Gypsy, Juno, Fritz, Mandarin and Paha, which aro valued by their owners at $75,000. The' others were small, or green elephants, worth $1,500 a piece. They did not travel altogether, as tbey had become separated in the vonlusion, but in only one instance did one get off all by itself. That was an elephant called Grade, which got out on to State street, ran JParJc avenue, toward Seaside pork, and through Atlautic and Henry streets to the Shore of the sound. The tide was out and she waded out into the mud. In that way she aluded the search parties that gathered the others in, and lloundered about in the mud, and in the water when the tide came In, all night. She was seen at daylight, and William Smith, an elephant veterinary, with a party in boats, went out after her. She was alive when reached, but died before she could be got in. It was learned that during the night she had been out on the rocks around the lighthouse. She died of cold and exposure. Baltimore, Nov.

Serious cDprcheaeioii is felt at this momrnt in Germany concerning the condition of the Crown Princ, not only lor hu sake but because of the uncertain fu'ure o' the Umpire in the event of his incapacity or death. Emperor William has passed his ninetieth year uud the recent jubilee in celebration of tho event was clouded with the knowledge that the days of his ro gu must ppeedily come to an end. It was discovered a year ago that a morbid growth in the throat of the Crown Prince required treatment. At the solicitation of his wife, the eldest daughter ot Q ieen Victoria, to whom he was married in 185G the Crown Prince placed himself in charge of Br McKrDZie, the most conspicuous specialist in England. An operation was performed. German physicians disagreed with the theory of Br. McKonzie, but all agree now that the diseaso is cancer. The necessary operation* to come can only prolong his life a little. The next in succession to the throne ia Frederick William, now in hia twenty-seventh year. lie was married, in 1881, to Augusta Victoria, daughter of the late Duke of Schleswig-Hilsteio. His eldest son, Frederick William again, waa born in 1882. The prospective ruler lucks the commanding stature of the Hoheuzollerns, but is a youth of spirit. Thai he would a :ek war with France ia a natural thought that is being denied. Prince Napoleon has sent a letter to Baron Bufour, a member of the chamber of deputies, saying that the resignation of President Grevy is necessary, and indirectly proposing himself as his successor.

A consultation of officers was held and it wns decided that the Wave had no time to loso by endeavoring to ascertain what the lights meant, and the steamer proceeded ou her way. There is great indignation expressed at the action Of the officers. FOR THE BENEFIT OF New Yobk, Nov. 33.—A reporter found iir. barnum at the Murray Hill hotel yesterday afternoon.

S3.—The Mississippi valley between Memphis and Quincy is filled with blinding gray smoke, from the forest and prairie fires raging on both sides of the river. The sun was entirely obscured yesterday by the smoke. Capt. William Fairly, of the steamer Missouri Belle, which came up the river yesterday, says: Philadelphia, Nov. 22.—The two unfortunate lepers, Mrs. P. Miranda and her 9- year-old daughter Anita, are now quarantined at the municipal hospital. It is alleged that Mrs. Mirande was advised to koop the secret of her disease by Dr. Van Harlingen, and it is also said that several prominent physicians were consulted and the treatment of the two lepers was begun. During all of '-his time they were stopping with Mrs. Mirande's sister, Mrs. Nierson, at Twentyfourth and Wright streets. Mrs. Nierson occupied the same sleeping apartments as the unfortunate leper. When she learned that her sister was being treated by a physician, she inquired what her ailment was, but Mrs. Mirando merely replied, "Only a skin diseose." Mrs. Nierson learned that Dr. Van Harlingen was her sister's physician, and she visited him, bat he refused to toll her what ailed his patient. With her secret buried in her bosom Mrs. Mirande continued to live at Mrs. Nierson'a home, while Anita attended school and played with the school children. M.

"For 300 miles on both sides of the river the fires are burning fiercely. At night the whole landscape Beems to be encircled with flames. The smoke over the river is stifling and the air it filled with ashes. In many places the flames have burned right through to the water's edge, but the greatest damage is being done a short distance in the interior. All the forests in northeastern Arkansas and southeastern Missouri seem to be burning, and at night fires can be easily seen burning through the swamps and lowlands on the eastern shore. Opposite Island No. 10 a big fire was working its way northward, and in the Cypres) swamps another great fire was in progress. We took on board several hunting parties that were forced to the river bank by these firos, and they reported that all kinds of game were fleeing before the flames. They had seen droves of deer and scores of black bears all running north. The swamp country is not settled, but the high ground back of it is populated, and from the reports we received coming up it seems that hundreds of farm houses with crops and fences have been destroyed. At one place we saw a strip of territory twenty miles long on the eastern shore that the fire had passed over some days previous, and it presented a picture of utter desolation. The ground was black and strewn with embers, and the stumps of the trees were still burning. The ground had been covered by a magnificent forest." THE BULLETIN OF COMMERCE, EVERY EVENING.

There were four elephants caught in the flames and burned to death. In their fright they liod knocked their would-be rescuers down when they approached to undo the fastenings, and had to be left to their fate. One of them was Samson, an unamiable brute, belonging to W. W. Cole. It was a matter of congratulation that no success attended the efforts to free him, as he would have been utterly uncontrollable and more dangerous than any score of the others. The most regretfully spoken of among the lost elephants was Alice, known as Jumbo's widow., Slie was his conscrt in the London Zoo, and cost the show (10,000 and the expenses of bringing her over. The third of the lost was the famous sacred white elephant from' BuTinah,' which is said to have cost liaruum more than $200,000.

Best FacMtfe "Tho impression that the Scholten did not have enough life saving apparatus is a false one," said Mr. Vandertoon. "She was amply\ supplied. There were six life boats, with a capacity of fifty each (enough to carry double the crowd on the Scholten), besides two largo life rafts and a very large assortment of life jackets, for, like the big steamships, our vessels are equipped to save all the passengers that they carry. Iu two instances we have proved this. When the Zaundam was burned and the Edam destroyed the passengers were all taken care of. They would have been Saturday, too, had not the smash amidships crushed two of the boats and sent the Scholten over on her beams so quickly that two more could not be launched. It was the 'midship blow also which caused her to sink so quickly in spite of the collision bulkheads. There is not a vessel afloat which will not sink if she gets crushed in the big engine compartment."
